Numbers in the Dark: And Other Stories by Italo Calvino

5.0

I admit to being less impressed with Calvino's juvenilia, I am still haunted by certain pieces: of the "interviews, ""Montezuma," and "Henry Ford;" of the other fictions, "Beheading the Heads." These are meal-worthy notions. They are sound enough to carry the collection. And it isn't to say that I didn't enjoy the early work as well. It simply doesn't have the same force. But this is an expected thing.
